The right side scar didnt heal well & took a long time to heal, it turned dark red & hurt to the touch. Dr. thought it might be an infection & called in an antibiotic. Dont think the Dr. lifted my left side enough. Have more lines on my left then my right & it looks uneven. Dr. didn't take pictures before the surgery so I don't know how much he lifted. I wanted a noticable difference with minimal scarring and that is not what I received. Very depressed and self conscious; don't know what to do.
